Kelvin Evans accepted a plea deal after prosecutors said surveillance video showed him stealing suitcases and hard drives with unreleased music.
- On Tuesday, Kelvin Evans pleaded guilty in Fulton County Superior Court to entering an automobile and criminal trespass stemming from the July 2025 theft of unreleased Beyoncé music and belongings from her Atlanta production team.
- Surveillance footage captured Evans breaking into a Jeep Wagoneer on Krog Street on July 8, 2025, stealing suitcases with hard drives containing unreleased music and laptops two days before Beyoncé's Atlanta concert.

- Senior Judge Jane C. Barwick sentenced Evans to five years—two in prison and three on probation—while ordering him to stay away from victims and the Krog Street parking garage where the theft occurred.
- Prosecutors cited circumstantial evidence in offering the plea deal, while Evans' lawyer stated he is "looking forward to putting this... behind him and hoping for a future where he can make money legitimately.
